Engine bay looks 100% I'm in the area too and its looking very tempting

I know lots of peeps on here would be interested in this part out. Lets see what it goes for. :eyebulge:
@Opie

Unfortunately someone might have died in this not 100% sure https://www.10news.com/news/local-ne...n-in-fallbrook

:cry::cry::cry::cry: poor car, it deserved better

Yeesh

That poor car definitely deserved better, look at the purple subway handle drift charm!

Geez, i hope not but sounds like someone did if secondary damage is biohazard... Condolences to that kids family, no one deserves to die so young. They deserved better.

clearly this new model is too fast for young drivers!

Better pull out your AARP cards at purchase folks....get off my lawn!

Damage doesn't look bad.... curious as to what the body looked like. Did a tree limb impale him or something?

Didn't last gen have an excellent crash rating?

ETA: wow nevermind. Click the link and browse the pictures of the driver's side. Yikes

I don't think the article is related to this crashed BRZ.

The driver posted the following with a pic of the wreck in a discord after it happened on 12/17:

Here's the pic he posted:

Yikes! Probably some blood and stuff then for "biohazard" damage. I wonder why that hydroplane story sounds familiar, maybe I read it elsewhere?

Still sad about that kid though. ��

rainy weather. fugetaboutit

@Opie
Buy for a FA24 swap onto a first gen? :D

God now I don't feel so bad about ripping my side-skirt off by yeeting it over a median. I have never driven a car with driver aids, my other DD a Z3 has ABS and thats it. I was turning and got this feeling the lady beside me was going to cut me off so I turned a little aggressively and then the ass end stepped out on me and wouldn't get back into line, I knew the DSC was trying to assist but it made it worse. $1400 later and it was fixed thank god it didn't damage anything but the side-skirt. I feel bad for this guy but hopefully he's okay like a racing instructor told me once "Don't go faster than your angels can fly and don't drive outside your abilities its not worth it"

bmw? median?

could've just said your tire pressure was off ;)

Classic

did you know that article no longer exists on jalopnik?

the almighty herb outright deleted all posts before the takeover. i'm guessing they don't want any legal ramifications from previous administrations...

Oh, that's not so bad looking... Oh, wait.

Hey I have no problem admitting when I do something stupid. It was partially my fault but its so odd I couldn't get it to snap back into place like my Z3 now granted the Z3 is 300Lbs lighter and has better tires on it but still. That $1400 side skirt was enough for me to learn my lesson though

if you don't know the story behind that one, it's worth the read:

it started with this:

https://jalopnik.com/this-asshat-bmw...-ca-1677493427

and then the guy that did it took to the bmw forums to defend himself, which ended as spectacularly as anyone can foresee:

TLDR; don't use analog tire pressure gauges, 1.5 psi is enough to make a car do some crazy things...

What was even more of a blow to my ego was I've driven my Z3 in rain with questionable tires and have never lost control of it then I hop in the BRZ and loose control of it immediately, but i'm thankful the only thing hurt was my wallet and ego :bellyroll:

Looks like fun, I'll have to try that in Forza!

:lol:

I saw this trainwreck of a thread live on bimmerforums. It was epic.

Don't feel too bad! The record still belongs to the guy a few years back that lost control and rolled the car while leaving the dealer's lot for the first time. He didn't even make it 100 yards.

I drive mine like a grandma its too expensive to wreck

2nd one on Auction, totally fixable with just the front frame damage. Probably can just pull it to straighten the side frame and then weld a new piece on the front. Engine and everything looks good. Track build hahaha!

It's a perfect hit too lol, washer fluid reservoir looks to be holding, headlights look good. I mean lol you couldn't ask for a better deal on a track build.

Nah. Likely internal damage to the engine. Crankshaft takes a whack while everything else is still moving forward. Maybe... maybe not. This wasn't dead on center, but...

Someone do it so i know how to do it :party0030:

Careful out there everyone. These cars are fun but maybe too much to handle for some.

Certainly very easy to get carried away in these. Im very impressed with the power delivery on these 2nd Gen's. This is essentially what the 1st Gen should have been. Im super excited to push this 2nd Gen at autocross and some lapping events, it will be very rewarding.

Same thoughts here. Thinking it was just #2...

That looks like relatively minor damage, and could be a good base for a track build.
Also ready for a GR86 bumper swap :bellyroll:

looks like it made love to a guard rail. and then the guard rail ignored their safe word.

Them 215s just ain't enough meat anymore for all them torqs.

That's not how toe works...

It's a good thing a lot of the kids don't go for something that is actually fast.......like a sport bike.

oh, they do that too......and we know how that ends for some of them, sadly.
